NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

No. 892,252. Specification of Letters Eatent.

Patented June 30, 1908.

Application filed Qatober 30, 1907. Serial No. 399,921.

to be refilled it is desirable to dispense with springs fllld yet provide means to posi tively hold the valve seated when the bottle is turned to an approximately horizontal position and to a point slightly'beyond the iorizontel, so as to preclude s partial refilling of the bottle by immersing the same in the liquid to be stored therein While holding the bottle in or nearly a, horizontal po' sition. i

This invention provides a lock for the valve of peculiar formation, the neck of the bottle having-an inner beveled shoulder with Whichs loose weight of approximately pear or; ovoidal shape cooperates.

- For n-full description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire s.

I knowledge of the details of construction of the means for effecting the result, reference is to behad to the following description and accorn' zinying drawings.

Whi e the invention may be adopted to different forms and conditions by chsnges in the structure and minor details without departing from the spirit or essential festures thereof, still the preferred embodiment is shown in the 'sicconipsnying drawings, in

with s neck has the letter lured or bulged st "Iii Whichi I Figure 1 iso vertical central section of the upper portion of s bottle, illustrating the application oixthe invention. Fig. '2 18 e View of the ports shown in Fig; 1, illustrating the relntionoi'" the valve end lock device cooperating therewith when the bottle is tilted to a position slightly beyond the horizontal.. Fig- 3 is 21, detail perspective view of the guard.

Corresponding and l ke parts a e referred .to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the some reference characters.v

The bottle or like rece tscle 1 provided a point between its endsl A vslve section is secured in the inner end or the neck and is provided at its upper end with s flared,

opening forming a seat 0 against which snugly his the conical valve 4. The section 2 is formed with an outer shoulder 5 against which shuts a packing 6 slip )ed upon the lower endol' ihc section an designed to provide a tight joint between said section and the neck of the bottle and which packing may consist of a ring of cork, rubber or other suitable material. The valve 4 is buoyant and may be formed of cork or other light material, and by being made conical it readily sestsitself and insures the formation of a tightjoint. A plate or disk 7 is fitted to the upper end of the valve sndhas its edge portion projecting beyond the sides thereof to overlap the upper end of the vslve section2. Disks or plates 8 and 9 zu'espziccd apartandhavec'onnection with each other and with the valve and plate 7 and are supported by means of a. sternlO which may form s part of the valve or he fitted thereto in any manner. stem 10 projects some distance from the lower end of the valve and sets in a measure to direct the valve to its sent and to turning thereol when the bottle is tilted, to pour off the contents. The parts 7,8 and 9, may be of Wood or other light material of less specific grsvity than water so as to fleet therein. Byhsving the valve and connecting parts of buoyant material the valve will automatically sent itself should an is slightly enlarged, as shown at 13 to re ceive the butt of the weight 14 and which butt is of s size to touch the beveled shoulder 11 st one oint and an edge portion of the plate or dis r 8 so ssto form a. lock to hold the valve seated, esindicsted most clearly in Fig.1. The weight is is of ear or ovoidal shape and is of a length to eve its points touch the neck at a, point abovethe shoulder and diametrically opposite to the oint of revent The neck be JlIfllt-ttC-t of the butt with the neck on part 8.

The weight 14 may he of any material-0f a specific; gravity greater or less than Water.

When the weight is of less s ecific ravit than the amount of Water disp seed t ereby,

'and immersed in a liquid.

- hold the valve securely seated.

The guard12 is hollow and consists of a shell. closed at its inner end and open at its outer end, the latter being provided with an outer flan e 15 to enter a rabbet or enlargement at t e outer end of the neck so as to limit the inward movement of the guard when placing it in position. Corresponding grooves are formed in the opposing sides of the guard and neck to form a space to receive cement 16 or like material. A roove 17 is formed in a side of the guard Ian communicates with the annular groove and provides a passage by means of which the cement may be supplied to the annular space when the guard is in position. The lower portion of the guard is made slightly smaller orof less diameter than the upper ortion to provide a space 18 between it an the neck of the bottle to admit of the liquid contents passing to and through the openings 19 when the bottle is tilted to pour oil the contents of the bottle. The openings 19 are inclined in an upward and outward direction from their lower ends to prevent a wire reaching the valve or the weight 14. A packing 20 is slipped upon the reduced portion of the guard and abuts against a shoulder formed at the base thereof and obtains a tight joint be: tween the guard and neck so as to prevent any of the cement or like material passing into the bottle when filling the space formed by tge companion grooves of the neck and uar g Having thus'described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. In a bottle or like receptacle provided with aneck, the combination of a downwardly closing valve arranged within the neck of the bottle, and an oblong weight located in the neck and cooperating with the valve to form a lock therefor, said weight metrically opposite normally occupying a pos tion with its major axis inclined to the horizontal and said Wei ht touching the neck at 'o posite points an exerting a pressure upon the valve at an intermediate point.

2. In a bottle or like receptacle provided with a neck, the combination with a valve located in the neck and adapted to close downward, and a weight arranged within the neck and having an a proximate pear 'or ovoidal form and norma ly occupying a posi tion with its point upward and touching the neck at op osite points and exerting a pressure unon t e valve at an intermediate point. 3. In a bottle or like receptacle provided with a neck, the latter bulged at a point between its ends'and rov'ided with an inner shoulder, a downwar y closing valve located at the inner end of the neck, and a weight of approximately pear or ovoidal shape adapted to exert a pressure upon the valve to hold the same seated and touching the neck at diaointsand exerting a pressure upon the va ve at an intermediate oint, the butt of the weight obtaining a hearing against the shoulder of the neck and the point of said Weight coming in contac with the neck above said shoulder.

4. In a bottle or like receptacle provided with a neck, the latter enlarged intermediate of its ends and having an inner shoulder, a downwardly closing valve at the inner end of the neck, a plate or disk having connection with the upper ortion of the valve, and an oblong or pears iaped weight normally forming a lock to hold the valve seated by exerting pressure u Eon the sald plate and abutting against sald s oulder.

5. In combination, a bottle or like recep tacle rovided with a neck havin an inner shouhl er, a downwardl closing vaIve having upper and lower space to hold the valve seated and normally in contact with the neck at diametrically opposite points and with the upper disk of the valve intermediate of said points.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
